- Learn specific, practical guidelines and practices focused on mind body techniques, herbal remedies, and other integrative medicine practices focused on the creation of optimal health and longevity.
- All my lectures are “evidence based” in the latest science. An emerging area is “Epigenetics” where specific lifestyle practices, dietary consumption, and meditation techniques literally allow you to influence and control your own genes. This is not mind over matter but it is … mind matters!
- Performance and productivity are the key goals in any career and occupation. There is a large and growing body of research documenting how individuals and organizations can achieve optimal performance and productivity. All of this is based on the latest clinical and cosy outcomes research and practical applications.
